Litigation and alternative dispute resolution
Representation in civil, commercial and employment court proceedings, and in mediation, conciliation and arbitration.
How we approach this service
We take a pragmatic approach to litigation: the best lawsuit is usually the one that never becomes necessary. Before going to court, we always explore the negotiated route —mediation or conciliation— partly because one of our partners is a certified mediator. When litigation is the right path, we pursue it with thorough preparation and a clear method: the client always knows what stage the case is at, what comes next and what to realistically expect. We don’t sell outcomes we can’t deliver.
